Some of my choices have been stolen by people in this thread who I showed them to.

Anyway.

hahahahaha, shit is so fucking funny, I have Trekkies II but its not as good because most of the people in the first one had realized how big of a tool they had been and they werent quite as dorky the second time around.

give a little one sentence description along with the title if you can...

about fifteen minutes through Land Without Bread I started laughing, and was unable to stop for the rest of it - I kinda felt like a horrible person, but meh, the juxtaposition of homeboy's voice with the images on screen was just unbelievably funny to me at the time.

^^ While that isn't a documentary, I would have to recommend "In the Shadow of the Moon" whenever it is released in theaters (and I imagine it will end up getting a wide release). http://imdb.com/title/tt0925248/ Hands down the best documentary related to space travel. Some of the footage is incredible.

also: one that wasn't mentioned that i've always liked is "paradise lost: the child murders at robin hood hills". i saw it on hbo in the 90s. basically how a town needed a scapegoat for a ghastly murder of some kids and they found the kids at the local high school who listened to metallica and wore black to peg it on.
